Police investigate assault report outside Capitol Hill bar

A Seattle police report released Wednesday details a Saturday morning assault near a Capitol Hill nightclub.

The victim at Harborview Medical Center told police he was at a club at 13th Avenue East and East Pine Street – apparently The Cuff – before the attack.

The man said he walked out of the club about 1 a.m. “and the next thing he knew, he was being driven to HMC/ER for treatment for a blow to the face,” Officer Felton J. Miles III wrote in an incident report.

Miles wrote that the victim was “very agitated, very uncooperative and verbally abusive” to police and emergency room personnel and refused to answer some questions about the incident.

He declined further medical treatment even after the attending physician told him that the X-rays showed he had a broken nose, according to the report.

Police checked the area but said officers were unable to find witnesses or evidence.
